I don't recall doing this. Maybe I did. If so, it was a rush job and likely during my busy season at work so I didn't retain any memory of doing it.

And agreed, it is fan-made, me or not. The last two choruses are almost identical and the album version isn't like that. It's not poorly done, but it's not official.

i just noticed that the third chorus is in fact the second one, it has the same violins and guitars...so i managed to rework the file, and changed the 3rd chorus with the 2nd one...and if i play the album version with this instrumental, if fits perfectly...now the hardest part, the third chorus has a very specific set of violins playing, i have no idea how to render that...anyone can help? i'm willing to send the file i just created if someone's interested

Someone on eBay is selling "Instrumentals" DAT. Buy it now price is not much. Wonder is the item authentic. It's a bit weird it says only "Instrumentals", not "Greatest Hits" mentioned. But the seller has lots of DAT tapes from other artists as well, Madonna, Kylie, etc.

Screams fake. The original Instrumentals pack didn't include 'Headlines' so it's weird that now one does include it. And if it was a new compilation made after the other one, you'd think they'd include Voodoo too since it was part of the GH album.

I can take a look if you want. Might mean a few unofficial addins, but if they're convincing and subtle I think that'll be good enough until (hopefully, one day) we get our hands on the real deal.
